There are 11 barbecue joints in DFW I must try

Was standing in line to check out at Kroger when the latest issue of D Magazine caught my eye. And anyone who knows me, or reads this blog regularly understands why—barbecue.
mmmm … Barbecue
Upon reading the article about “The Best Barbecue In Dallas (That’s Not Really In Dallas)” a couple of things spring to mind.

Snag some tasty pizza at Fireside Pies in Dallas

I’ve been working some crazy hours lately. (Okay, I’m always working crazy hours. I admit it. Guilty as charged.) So on a recent Friday night as I arrived home at what for me is a reasonable time, but for most of humanity is considered late, TheBetterHalf® and I started discussing dinner options. We were both [...]

El Mercado Cocina Mexicana at the Dallas Farmers Market

Grab some grub when you're at the Dallas Farmers Market
Any place that TheKiddo™ decides it’s appropriate to practically lick her plate clean is a good place to eat.

Baker’s Ribs: TheKiddo™ agrees, it’s the Best Barbecue in Dallas

The sign TheKiddo™ seeks in Deep Ellum.
Any time we’re driving through Deep Ellum, I can count on TheKiddo™ to pipe up from the back seat with a call for, “Carne, carne, carne.” Most of the time this request is followed by, “Cerdito! (pig)” and a *snort* in imitation.
I don’t blame her one bit for being [...]

Best burgers in Dallas are at Twisted Root Burger Company

Deliciously snarky. What's not to love?
Being in Dallas, one would expect a plethora of fine burger joints. This, however is not the case. The few restaurants that are constantly mentioned to me don’t capture my tastebuds or attention long enough to warrant a second chance. (No, I won’t mention any of them here, because I [...]
